About Kuilfontein Stable Cottages

Charm, history and convenience. KUILFONTEIN STABLE COTTAGES is perfectly situated as a stopover for travellers from Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal to the Cape, near the N1 and Colesberg. This historic racehorse stud and sheep farm has been in the family since 1876. Leigh & Penny Southey and their family and staff are renowned hosts where guests become dear friends.

The delightful old stable quarters have been converted with style and comfort. Crisp white cotton percale linen, mohair blankets and feather pillows add luxury to rooms decorated with family antiques and country style. There are two luxury units, one family unit and five standard units. Children 6 and older welcome.

Gourmet food is served on gleaming yellowwood tables in a cosy dining room. The resident chef uses farm fresh produce including their world-famous succulent Karoo lamb. Vegetarians are catered for with delicious dishes of couscous stuffed peppers and crisp vegetable pastas. Health breakfasts include homemade breads, muffins jams and preserves with fresh fruit and farm butter and cream.
